Thinking of buying the 1983 Dodge 600?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1983 Dodge 600; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1983 Dodge 600 is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the 600

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Engine and fuel

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Who the 600 suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the 600 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 600 answers the big questions.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

What it costs to run

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Make a request

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1983 Dodge 600 from us first.
